Systems and methods for generating media streams

A system, comprising:

• a microphone for recording an input media stream including an individual speaking in a first language;
• at least one processing device configured to:
• determine from the input media stream a set of speech-related characteristics associated with the individual;
• generate, using the set of speech-related characteristics associated with the individual, a synthesized voice for the individual;
• and
• produce an output media stream comprising for each set of words spoken by the individual in the first language in the input media stream a translation set of words in a target language using the synthesized voice;
• and
• a transmitter for transmitting the output media stream as part of a real-time conversation.

A computer program product for generating media streams, the computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and including instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to execute a method, the method comprising:

• receiving an input media stream including an individual speaking in a first language;
• determining from the input media stream a set of speech-related characteristics associated with the individual;
• generating, using the set of speech-related characteristics associated with the individual, a synthesized voice for the individual;
• and
• producing an output media stream comprising for each set of words spoken by the individual in the first language in the input media stream a translation set of words in a target language using the synthesized voice.
